2011-12 Week 1 NFL Picks

As I did last season, I will make my weekly NFL picks before the first game of each week. All picks are to win; the spread has no relevance. For the record, I went 138-110 last season, including the playoffs.

Here we go (home team in CAPS, the starred game is the one I have selected in my suicide pool):

PACKERS over Saints

Falcons over BEARS*BROWNS over Bengals*

CHIEFS over Bills

RAMS over Eagles

Titans over JAGUARS

RAVENS over Steelers

TEXANS over Colts

CARDINALS over Panthers

CHARGERS over Vikings

49ERS over Seahawks

Giants over REDSKINS

JETS over Cowboys

Patriots over DOLPHINS

Raiders over BRONCOS
